In the center of the city-state, at the highest place of frost, the Great Chapel of Silence stood silently on the top of the hill, and the gloomy sky made the majestic and gloomy building seem to be more oppressive in silence, its minarets standing in the mist, like thorns and blades, overlooking the city.

A tall figure standing out in the crowd strolled through the square in front of the church, looking around the landscape like an ordinary tourist.

After a while, another elegant and gentle old gentleman in a dark brown coat walked out of the crowd and walked straight towards the tall figure.

When Vana saw Morris coming from the crowd, she quietly came to a relatively secluded place.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary on this side of Cathedral Square." Vanna leaned against a street lamp, looked at the church door not far away, and whispered.

"The town hall too, at least on the surface, shows no signs of mental or cognitive contamination," Morris wiped his monocle, "but I found a thing."

"A situation?"

"There were people near the square talking about the recent authorities' exploration of the sewers, and if that's right, they're talking about the second waterway," Morris said, "and they mentioned the gatekeeper Agatha — the gatekeeper himself."

"Agatha the Gatekeeper?" The expression on Vanna's face suddenly changed slightly, "But the captain said ·····."

"The real Agatha should be trapped in a mirrored Frost City at this moment," Morris whispered, "the one leading the team...... It's probably a fake."

Vanna took a light breath, then jerked her head up in the direction of the Great Sanctuary of Silence.

The majestic building stood against a backdrop of a gloomy sky, and the minarets stood silently in the mist.

Her expression became solemn: "...... There is nothing unusual about the cathedral, so there are only two possibilities, either the fake has been hidden from the eyes of the cathedral, or ······

"Either the Frost Church is no longer credible, or at least there's something big wrong in the cathedral," Morris nodded slightly, "Whatever the case may be, the Frost Church has apparently lost control of the whole thing - it's time for us to get out of here, and we have to tell Mr. Duncan about it immediately."

Vanna nodded silently, and walked with Maurice towards the exit at the edge of the plaza, and before leaving, she looked up one last time at the clearing across from the Great Chapel of Silence.

That was where the town hall was located, where the Queen's Palace, once known as the "Winter Court", stood and the fog rose from the top of the hill, and in the slightly thicker fog, Vanna saw that the building also stood silently under the sky like the Great Chapel of Silence, with its spires towering and towers, towers like thorns and blades in the fog, silently overlooking the city.

Vanna's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Morriston turned his head: "Vanna? What do you see?"

Vanna stared at the hazy mist.

In the mist, the town hall was restored to its original state, a palace-like building with various curved vaults, and around the majestic gray-white main building, there were long halls and continuous undulating vaults that extended out like wings on both sides.

There are no gloomy black spires, nor towers like forests.

"Vanna? What's wrong with you?" Morris's voice rang out again.

"I just saw another cathedral—right in the town hall," Vana whispered suddenly, her expression extremely solemn, "It's only for a moment, but I'm sure I'm right!"

"Another cathedral?" Maurice was taken aback, and he instinctively looked across the square, but all he could see was the unmistakable City Hall.

But he didn't doubt Vanna's judgment in the slightest.

"This does not bode well," the old scholar raised his hand and pressed the top hat on his head in a low voice, "It seems that you are the only one who saw the scene just now, probably because your vision as a clergyman is far beyond that of ordinary people—the vision that appeared directly around the cathedral is evidence of the growing erosion."

Vanna didn't say anything, she just frowned, her eyes turned to the city area at the foot of the mountain, and then slowly spoke: "It's foggy, it's everywhere."

The fog began, initially in the heart of the Frost City-State, and then the fog began to spread throughout the city, from the first only wisps of mist, to the fog quickly becoming thicker, and in just a few hours, the whole city was already shrouded in a haze.

"There's a lot of fog outside!"

Shirley leaned on the window of her bedroom on the second floor, craned her neck to look at the street, and exclaimed with surprise on her face.

Ah Dog also leaned on the window, the ugly bone head and Shirley side by side, staring outside for a long time, and then suddenly came out with a string of words: "The reason for the fog in urban areas is usually the large temperature difference between day and night, and human activities cause water vapor to rise, dust in the air increases, and the watery air between buildings will form when it suddenly cools......

Shirley listened with a confused expression: "What are you talking about?"

"Dog is talking about the second chapter of "The Logic Behind Nature", which he has been reading for the past two days," Nina, who was doing her homework at the desk next to her, turned her head and said casually, "You should try to read simple books on your own once in a while, which are useful for mastering words - if not, you can start with picture books."

Shirley thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Are you mocking me for knowing too little and learning to only read picture books?"

Nina's attention had turned back to her homework: "No, because you can really only read picture books, and it's not a mockery to describe the facts······

Shirley's eyes widened suddenly, as if she wanted to get angry, but then she was attracted by the thicker fog outside the window, and waved her hand repeatedly: "Hey, I won't tell you this - come and see!" It's really foggy outside! I've never seen anything like this fog in Plain......

"The temperature difference between day and night is small, and it is windy in the morning and evening, so it is not easy to fog up," Nina didn't look up, "I don't look at it, I haven't finished my homework yet, and the set of papers left by Mr. Morris is really difficult, and the multiple-choice questions are too confusing, I always feel that I chose the wrong ······

"Hey, you can choose C when you can't figure it out," Shirley muttered, and then her eyes rolled again, as if a new idea had come to mind, "Nina, do you want to go out?" It's nearby, not far away - there's a dim sum shop across the street, and you can't get a cheap cake because you don't have any customers in this weather······

"I'm not going," Nina said casually, "you're going to go yourself, Uncle Duncan is back and I'm ...... if I don't sue."

She was in the middle of her sentence when a strange, rustling sound suddenly sounded in the room, interrupting the conversation between the two girls.

"You······ Did you hear anything just now?" Shirley quickly jumped back from the windowsill,

A wary look around.

Nina was also nervous, and just as she subconsciously wanted to look around, the corner of her eye suddenly saw a strange appearance on the surface of the test papers and books spread out in front of her.

The words moved, the symbols swirled, the black and white ink marks vibrated as if they had come to life, and at the edges of those shaky pen marks, black shadows spread like smudged ink, and quickly filled the entire page.

Almost instantly, all the books and volumes Nina had just read began to tremble violently, and the overlapping whispers were mixed with the sound of rustling and reverberating throughout the room!

"Ah! The book you read is evil!" Shirley suddenly exclaimed, and at the same time subconsciously raised the chain of connection with Ah Dog, and the moment her exclamation fell, the evil thing that came after the taste of knowledge and floated towards the real world also entered the room!

The black smoke swirled wildly, entities condensed from the smoke, shards of bones scattered across the floor, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into ugly and terrifying demons—three ghostly hounds landed on the floor with a terrifying roar, their chaotic scarlet eyes filled with madness and chaos!

Then they saw them lying on their stomachs in the open space next to the window

It's a little stunned.

The Hidden Hound and the Hidden Hound looked at each other—

Shirley even felt that she could see a moment's confusion in the posture of those chaotic and unintelligent "primordial demons".

But that didn't dampen her reaction in the slightest.

The pitch-black chain made an instant noise, Shirley raised her arms high, and the huge force swept the dog around like a meteor hammer, and the next second it roared and smashed into the demon closest to the window!

"I'm going to you!"

With a loud bang, the two dog's heads collided with an earth-shattering impact, and the demon who had just escaped from the deep sea was obviously no match for the dog who had been practicing with Shirley for many years - both in terms of the hardness of the skull and in terms of reaction.

The first ghostly demon was smashed to pieces in a single shot.

The second ghostly demon only had time to open its mouth, and before it could let out a roar, it suddenly felt a rapid rush of heat.

A flame came from the side, and Nina raised her leg to kick 6000°.
